A LESSON WITH A MORAL,
When will Our Eyes be Opened to this
Great National Calamity?

When will Our Eyes be Opened to thi
Great National Calamity?
The year 1856 played sad havoc witt
many prominent men of our country.
Many of them died without warning
passing away apparently in the full fiust
of life.
Others were sick but a comparatively
short time. We turn to our files and are
astonisheG to find that most of them died
OF apopleNy, of paralysis, of nervous pros
tration, of malignant blood humor, Of
Brights disease, OF heart disease, of kid,
ney disease, of rheumatism or OF pneu-
monia.
1t is singular that most of our promi-
nent men die OF these disorders. Any
Journalist who watches the telegraphiC
reports will be astuhishcd at the number
OF prominent victims of these disorders.
Many statements have appeared in our
paper with others to the effect that the
diseases that carried off so many prom
inent men ia 1856, are really one disease,
taking different names according to the
location of the fatal effects.
When valuable horse perishes, it he
comes the nine CayS' talk of the sporting
world, and yet thousands Of Ordinary
horses are dying every day; their aggre-
safe loss is enormous, and yet their
death creates na.comment..
So it is with faHyiduals. The cause OF
death Of promineat, men creates com
ment, especially waeasit can be shown
that Que unsupported disease carries off
most of them, and YET fsgssf numbers Of
ordinary men and womeh die befoEe ft1sir

II is said if the blood iSkept free from
uric acid, that heart disease, paralysis,
nervous prostrsssRp, pneufn onia, rheuma-
would never be Known. This uric acid,
!. we are told, is the waste of the system,
and it is the duties ofthe kidneys TO re
moyG, this waste. Il
We are told that IL the kidneys are
maintsfned in pertect health, the uric,
kidney, acid Is ept out Of the blood, and
these iIsuddea3 sats universal diseases
caused by uric aciif. Will in a large meas
ure disappear.
But how shall this be done? II is folly
10 treat eEects. Ii there is any known
Ways OF gessilg ct the cause, that way
should be kreSgp to the public. We be-

Diseases. Vi.
because pt5ifc attention has been
directed to this great remedy by means of
advertising, some psrsons have not be-
lieted in the remedy. We cannot see
how. Mr.. Warner could Immediately
beneH the public in any other way, and
his valuable specific should not be con-
demned because some uostrumS have
come before the public IN the same way,
any more than that all doctors should be
condemned because so many of them are
incompetent.
1t is astonishing what good opinions
you hear on every side, of that great
remedy, and public opinion thus based
upon an actual experience, has all the
weight and Importance of absolute truth.
At this time of the year, the uric acid in
the blood invites pneumonia and rheuma-
tism, and there is not a man who does
not dread these monsters OF disease; but
he need have no fear of them we are told,
if he rid the blood of the uric acid cause.
These words are strong, and may sound
like an advertisement, and be rejected as
such by unthinklns people, but we believe
they are the truth, and rs such should be
spoken by every truth-lOving newspaper.
